IMPROVEMENT IN PEGuGuING-JACKS.

Specifioationforming part of Letters Patent No. 132,616, dated October29, 1872.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, JOHN G. ZIEGLER, of Salt River, in the county ofIsabella and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Bootand Shoe Jack, of which the following is a specification:

My invention consists of a circular ring or table mounted ona standardby being pivoted to the top of it at one edge, and resting at theopposite edge on braces to which it is pivoted, which said braces areswiveled to the standard so as to swing around it horizontally and beadjusted vertically by controlling nuts screwing up and down on thestandard, whereby the said ring or table, whereon the blocks to whichthe last is clamped are mounted, can be readily adjusted to any requiredangle to the horizontal plane, and it can be shifted horizontally aroundits pivot on the standard as required in the progress of the work. Theinvention also consists of the attachment of the last-supportin g blocksto this ring or table by a long slotted plate, which is secured by abolt to a horizontal disk fitted into a central opening through thetable, so that it can turn freely thereon, the said slotted plate beingcapable of shiftin g endwise along the bolt by which it is secured,which passes through the slot, so that the last can be oscillatedhorizontally on the table, and shifted transversely thereof tofacilitate the adjustment of the work to any position it may beconvenient to have it in for peggin g, sewing, edging, or trimming thesole.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved machine with a part brokenout, and with a last strapped upon it 5 Fig. 2 is a plan view; and Fig.3 is a section taken on the line a; m of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the standard for supporting the circular table B. Said standardconsists of a metal rod, which is stepped in a wood or other suitablebase-plate, G, and stayed a short distance above by an eyebolt, D,projecting from post E, also supported on the base piece 0. Thisstandard is screw-threaded above the eyebolt and has a journal, F, atthe top, on which the table B is pivoted at one side to swinghorizontally, while at the opposite side of the axis it is pivoted toswing vertically to the braces G, which are swiveled at H to thestandard A, between two adjusting-nuts I, so that it can swing aroundthe axis of said standard with the table, and can be adjusted verticallythereon to hold said table horizontally or obliquely to the horizontalplane, as may be required. K is another ring or disk fitted within thecentral hole of the ring-table B so as to turn freely. L is a longslotted plate attached to the upper side of K by a bolt, M, at thecenter of the latter, passing through the slot and held by a nutscrewing down on said plate each side of the slot. N is-a cleat on diskK, fitting in the slot of plate L, so that the disk and plate will turntogether. P and Q represent the blocks for supporting the last. They arefastened to the plate L, one at each end. B is the strap for binding thelast on said blocks; S, the lever for actuating the strap; and T, theratchet for holding the lever. The plate L slides transversely of disk Kand table 13, besides turning with them.

It will be seen that the work may by this contrivance be readilyadjusted to any required angle to the horizontal plane; also shiftedaround the pivot F, and also around the axis of the table, whereby itmay be shifted to various positions within a wide range.

Having thus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. The combination of the standard A, table B, bracesG, and adjusting-nuts I, all being arranged and operating substantiallyas specified.

2. The combination of the table B, disk K, slotted plate L, and blocks PQ, all arranged and operating substantially as specified.

JOHN G. ZIEGLER.
